Scenes from Spring Break: Spring training, north of the border

When you think of Spring Break venues, what comes to mind? Usually warm-weather sites. You know. Cancun. Florida beaches. Dominican Republic. Puerto Rico. Myrtle Beach. Stuff like that. Well, for a large swath of our men's distance team, the "spring" break venue of choice was Montreal. Yeah. THAT Montreal. You know. The one in Quebec. Canada. North of the border. For those keeping score at home? It was cold in Montreal. It's almost always cold in Montreal, isn't it? Anyway! This group of happy young men put their fine Marist education to good use by scoping out an excellent training venue -- in this case, the indoor track at McGill University. They got their work in, getting through some good track intervals at McGill, with Dietrich and Sami actually remembering to follow our practice policy of wearing team gear. Spring may still be a rumor -- in Montreal, and in Poughkeepsie -- but spring track season is right around the corner, weather or not.
